Add to Wish List Product Details
Technical Director Olivier Pouthier crafted one of the wines of the vintage at Les Carmes Haut-Brion. The 2021 possesses mind-blowing intensity and stunning persistence. Bright red-fleshed fruit, blood orange, mint, dried flowers and exotic spice caress the senses as the 2021 shows off its sheer allure. I don't think I have ever tasted a young Carmes with this level of precision. The blend is 40% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, aged in 70% new oak, 20% new foudres and 10% in amphora. As always, Les Carmes sees some whole cluster 45% in 2021 an unusual technique in Bordeaux but one that works so well here. The 2021 is a magical wine. That's all there is to it. Drinking Window: 2031-2061. Score - 96-98. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com)
